	abstract = {<p>A homogeneous black coloured glass was obtained by melting the bottom ashes produced by a municipal solid waste incinerator at 1300{\textdegree}C for 2 h without any chemical additives. Based on thermal analysis data glass-ceramics were produced by heat treating the glass, doped with additional TiO2 as a nucleating agent, at temperatures between 870 and 1000{\textdegree}C. The crystalline phases precipitated during the heat treatments were identified by powder XRD and the microstructures were examined using SEM. After a heat treatment at 900{\textdegree}C for 2 h, the glass was converted into a fine grained glass-ceramic with uniform microstructure. The major crystalline phases precipitated in the glass-ceramics were augite (Ca(Mg,Fe)Si2O6), gehlenite (Ca2Al2SiO7) and clinopyroxene (Ca(Ti,Mg,Al)(Si,Al)2O6). Preliminary evaluation of the mechanical and chemical properties of the bottom ash glasses and glass-ceramics suggest that they have potential to compete with existing natural and commercial outdoor cladding materials.</p>
